Episode 203: Book Week – Greg Sistero’s The Disaster Artist

For this book week, we read The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero. Carol the Cat and the Giddygeeker had a chance to see Greg Sestero in person a few weeks before, and we discuss that as well.

About the Book

The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made is a 2013 non-fiction book written by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell. Sestero details the troubled development and production of the 2003 cult film The Room, his own struggles as a young actor, and his relationship with Room director Tommy Wiseau.

Have not seen any mention of TDA book as at least a partial character study of a person with narcissistic personality disorder and/or borderline personality disorder, and how the exhibition of those behaviors can blind those experiencing it to their own faults, while they hurt and manipulate others to elevate themselves. They burn and excoriate those they feel slighted by and pity themselves for being lonely or not having close friendships, without ever looking into the real reasons for it, themselves and their inability to see beyond their own grandiosity. In this case not sure to what end besides monetary gain but having a relative or co-worker like this can cause much pain while they blame everyone and everything else for their shortcomings.
